Liam Payne is officially going in a new directionhis own direction on a track of his own...well, sort of. While the singer and 1/4 of One Direction has dutifully been teasing some of his solo work for a few weeks now, a snippet of his newest collaboration with Juicy J just hit Twitter. It may very well be the best 8 seconds of your life.

Now, there's a lot to process here — firstly, that Liam is teaming up with Juicy J, who is releasing a mixtape with Wiz Khalifa. It's not really a surprise that Liam would choose to work with rappers, however, as it was DJ Big Payno's idea to remix One Direction's "Drag Me Down" with a feature from Lunchmoney Lewis. He also teased a song on Instagram a few months ago that featured a very Drake-like vibe in that it wasn't quite rap, but not quite singing, either.

But for all the good news that more solo work from the boys formerly known as One Direction is on the way — yes, and so close to Zayn's official drop of Mind of Mine — there's no clue as to when this mixtape will drop. It's also a very short millisecond in which you can hear Liam's voice, but he very clearly sings “All I need is you" on the track, aptly titled "You." But...wait...Zayn has a song titled "It's You" on his upcoming album. Is that...It couldn't be...

Okay, okay, we doubt it was intentional shade from Liam's side, as he's only featuring on Juicy's track, but still. It seems a little coincidental, don't you think?
